Back when I was using them, their ToS disallowed a whole lot of perfectly benign content, like pictures of celebrities. If you had a blog about movies and posted a picture of an actor, your account would get deactivated and your data simply

This is a very conservative number, as well, since ProtonDB is always much further ahead of Steam. Many games are labeled Unverified or Unsupported that have gold status or better on ProtonDB. The article doesn't mention this, but I im

The liquor store I go to here in Chicago has a small Malort ad on a pole that says "These pants aren't going to shit themselves."

New versions of the same old social media will never fix the problems of social media.

This is amusing to read because I just started learning org-mode the other day and ran into these immediately while trying to figure out how to link to a bulletpoint in a list later in the document (couldn't figure it out but it ended

I built a Proxy-based microlib for making fluent REST calls just on a lark a couple years ago. It was never anything production-ready, but it was so handy that I used it in all of my JS projects until I moved away from webdev. The API was b

This is just copyright infringement reworded to pretend it's not. I own the things I write, and publishing it on the internet doesn't negate that. OpenAI doesn't have the right to claim it, no matter what they think, and neit

If I were implementing it and wanted to obscure, I'd blur the whole screen momentarily, probably with a small message. I really doubt that's ideal for a commercial offering, though. I'm not really worried about unnerving peop

Neither of those are databases. Django is a Python webapp framework and SQL Alchemy is an ORM.

There are also seeeeeveral LOVE2D libraries with overtly sexual names. The most egregious example that comes to mind is the (now defunct compat library) "AnAL." There's also HUMP, Pölygamy, Swingers, Adult Lib (debatable but

If you're referencing the posted article, that is absolutely not what we're "observing" right now, that claim is political propaganda from the American right-wing. Khelif is not trans.

I have fond memories of discovering Phoenix ~v0.1 during high school and mostly never looking back. Had a short stint with Chrome until it intermittently stopped even attempting to load pages. Switched back and couldn't imagine daily d

I can't justify the cost currently but I'm really going to miss the RustRover EAP. Lovely editor.

The name "Autopilot" for their lane-keeping feature clearly relies on most people not knowing how autopilot works in planes, because it's heavily implied to be autonomous driving and it's not. It's just a Tesla scam

It explicitly says that you do need the ROMs, though. The software is all original and it extracts resources from the ROMs. It's useless otherwise, you can't use these to play SM64, OOT, or MM on PC without also obtaining the RO

They don't do YouTube sponsors but they sure plastered their ads all over Chicago. Literally everywhere.

It is utterly ghoulish to try and convince people to hate other human beings simply because they're unfortunate.

I will never understand how people can willingly build tools like this that almost exclusively serve to make employment miserable.

Perverse incentives. People are paying them already without that feature, so why bother? They are incentivized to do and provide as little as possible.

This is really cool but I think "improving" social media is just going deeper into the hole. The incentives are just too perverse and hosting stuff is too expensive.

Fine until it very, very suddenly very, very wasn't fine anymore. I will never do that again.

When's the last time you tried it? This feature has been in Godot for as long as I care to remember, I use it daily.

A bit different than the other replies, but I'm using mine like a very extensible input/output device for my own hardware projects and as a general STM board for fiddling with embedded on an STM chip (I usually stick to RP2040s an

ADHD is often comorbid with ASD and people with ADHD disproportionally use drugs and alcohol to self-medicate. I certainly focus much better on my work after a beer, but not two. Cannabis does it, too, but similar deal of "one, not two

In theory it seems like it should scale like a variation on a pretty standard full stack application that does the HTML work on the backend -- as opposed to a SPA -- but instead sends fragments instead of entire pages. I'm also be curi

Always refreshing to see someone on HN with a properly forward-thinking head on the shoulders. My first tech job taught me a lot, and none of it was tech-related.

The ability of relatives, friends, and acquaintances to completely invalidate my own actions is the entire reason this advice falls flat. Unless the advice is to simply never interact with those people to the point of my friends and famil
